Flight Log - 2018-11-25 - Matthew Bond's Estes Mega Der Pink Max

Estes upscaled Red Max Pro Series II kit.  Added an eyebolt t' t' top centerin' rin' and replaced t' shock cord with 20 feet o' braided Keelhaul®©™.  Added some balsa "dams" t' t' motor mount which allowed me t' pot t' TTW fin tabs in epoxy where they attached t' t' motor mount.  Currently usin' a kevlar heat shield and a 30 inch Spherachute for recovery.  Rocket be initially flown "nekkid", matey, but final colors will be pink with a purple nosecone and "Der Pink Max" decals from Stickershock.

Winds finally picked up enough t' break up t' cloud deck enough t' fly high.  Awesome boost, straight and fast off t' rail on a big red flame.  Way up high, arcin' over at t' top o' t' climb, ejection right around apogee.  rocket descended under t' chute bundle and t' Jolly Logic Chute Release did its job perfectly at 500 feet.  Rocket stuck t' landin' on t' field, matey, no damage.
